Role of Cognitive Radio in 5G

There is an ever growing need for improved data transfer over the smart network device which exists. 5G is a futuristic technology which tries to achieve high data rates with reduced latency through wireless worldwide interconnections. There are many limitations related to the implementation of 5G technology. Cognitive Radio is a smart radio which addresses problems related to Spectrum Allocation where allocation is carried out dynamically. Cognitive Radio is capable of learning and adapting its operating and functional parameters according to the environment in which it operates. In order to make the concept of 5G realistic and to overcome the challenges in 5G, the flexibility and adaptability of Cognitive Radio can be of use. This chapter explores the role of Cognitive Radio technology in realizing 50 implementations. The possibility of adapting the terminals in 50 as Cognitive Radios is also investigated. Further the challenges and the commercial issues that will rise in the amalgamation of Cognitive Radio and 50 technology is also examined. Thus the chapter will look into the similarities in the two technologies and introspects the possibility of interoperability.
